[[File:Elysiumvalley.jpg|600px|right]] = City Information = '''Population: '''70,000 <br> '''Postal Code:''' T1L 1E0 <br> '''Area Code: '''403 <br> '''Location: '''The city of Elysium Valley is located within the Canadian Rockies in the province of Alberta. The city is near the Alberta-British Columbia border in the western part of Banff National Park.<br> The major feature of Elysium Valley is the man made Ching Tu River. The Trans-Canada Highway runs through the city. It is approximately 2 hours from Calgary. <br> '''Date Founded:''' [[Founder's Day|July 29, 1920]]<bR> The city itself is almost a hundred years old. When the city was under construction, the founders gave lots of incentives for people and businesses to set up there and now the economy is thriving. No one has seen or heard from the mysterious founders in years, not since the first Mayor was elected. <br> The Ching Tu River flows through the valley from north to south. It’s a man-made river. Rumor has it that one of the city founders made it, but no one really knows for sure who did or what its purpose is. All anyone knows is that it was there before the first buildings went up. <br> = Airport = Elysium Valley International Airport (YYV/CYYV) is located to the south east of the city. The airport has three terminals. Terminals 1 and 2 are connected to each other via the Canada Border Services Agency arrivals hall. <br> Terminal 1 is the international terminal. All flights from outside Canada arrive and depart from here, including flights from the United States Terminal 2 is a separate building and is the base for domestic flights. All flights within Canada arrive and depart from Terminal 2. The terminals are connected by a bus, Airside T2 to Groundside T1. The bus is operated by the Elysium Valley based airline, Azure Air. This airport is seen as a cheaper option to landing in Calgary or Edmonton, and often serves as the alternate airport for Calgary. <br> Azure Air's livery consists of a dragon painted on the body of the aircraft so that the first and second passenger windows appear to be eyes. The airport is connected to the Downtown and Spring Glades districts of Elysium Valley by public transport buses, and a less frequent intercity bus service to Calgary. [[File:Evrs_logo.png|400px|left]] = City Transit Information = Elysium Valley's public transport system consists primarily of a subway system with buses to compliment it. The subway is made up of four lines, crossing each other to form a fifth loop line around the Downtown Core. <br> '''Black Line:''' Stargazer University to the Industrial Sector <br> '''Red Line:''' West Side Housing District to the East side Fire station<br> '''Blue Line: '''Elysium Valley High School to the Business Sector<br> '''White Line:''' Tir Na Nog - Water Treatment Plant to Tir na Nog Junior High<br> '''Gold Line:''' Loops around the Downtown Core<br> The White Tiger bus network connects the mid and end points of the lines together and links the places not served by the subway to Downtown. White Tiger also runs a shuttle bus service within the downtown subway loop. <br> The train station located in the Downtown Core is owned by Serpent Rail. Serpent Rail runs intercity trains from Elysium Valley south into Montana, Idaho, Washington and Oregon, west to Vancouver and east to Calgary. Amtrak and VIA Rail also run service to Testudo Station.
